SNAP is a federal program that helps eligible families buy groceries. It puts funds on your EBT card so you can shop at local stores like Walmart or Kroger. Whether you’re in Texas or Florida, SNAP makes sure you can get nutritious food when you need it.
This article takes a closer look at the March 2025 payment calendar for SNAP in Texas and Florida. We’ll cover exactly when you can expect your funds if you’re counting on this program. Let’s get started.
Texas SNAP payment breakdown
For Texas, your payment date depends on your eligibility certification date and the last digit(s) of your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number. For those certified before June 1, 2020, your payment date is based on a single-digit EDG ending. Here’s the list:
- EDG ending 0: Payment on the 1st of March.
- EDG ending 1: Payment on the 3rd.
- EDG ending 2: Payment on the 5th.
- EDG ending 3: Payment on the 6th.
- EDG ending 4: Payment on the 7th.
- EDG ending 5: Payment on the 9th.

- EDG ending 7: Payment on the 12th.
- EDG ending 8: Payment on the 13th.

For those certified after June 1, 2020, your payment is determined by the last two digits of your EDG number, and the dates run from the 16th to the 28th of March.
This breakdown helps spread out the load, ensuring the state can process all the applications smoothly. If you’re ever in doubt about your specific payment day, reaching out to Texas Health and Human Services can clear things up.
Florida SNAP payments
Florida’s SNAP payment schedule for March 2025 hasn’t been set yet. While payments are generally distributed between March 1st and March 28th, exact dates aren’t available at this time.
As a SNAP recipient in Florida, your funds could appear on your EBT card on any day within this window. The schedule is determined according to the eighth and ninth digits of the beneficiary’s Florida case number, excluding the 10th digit. This system ensures a smooth distribution process by staggering payments throughout the month.
To stay informed, Florida beneficiaries should monitor their online SNAP accounts or sign up for text alerts from local agencies. This way, you won’t miss your payment when it arrives. For any questions, your local SNAP office will be able to assist you.
Keeping an eye on dates and payment information
Both Texas and Florida are committed to making sure that SNAP benefits reach those who need them. In Texas, your payment day is set by your EDG number and certification date. With a clear list to follow, you can quickly determine if your funds are coming in early March or later in the month. Florida’s payment dates for SNAP benefits haven’t been set yet, so be sure to stay on top of your EBT account for updates.
If you depend on SNAP benefits, mark your calendar and keep an eye on your payment notifications. Double-check with your local agency if you’re unsure about your payment date. By staying informed and prepared, you can make the most of your SNAP benefits.
